Western media downplay jihad in China mass-murder attack

The denial is near-total. The governments of the West determinedly insist that every jihad attack has nothing to do with Islam, even when the perpetrators invoke Islamic texts and teachings in order to explain and justify their actions. The FBI has scrubbed all mention of Islam and jihad from counter-terror training materials. The mainstream media portrays jihad attacks as the fault of their victims, and writes handwringing stories about the fear of a “backlash” against innocent Muslims.

Global Jihad: Muslim terrorists hacked to death 29 people and injured 143 at a crowded China train station, but the Western media dismiss the attackers as “separatists” making a “political” statement. Jihad? What jihad?

Over the weekend, a terrorist cell of eight Islamists — six men and two women — traveled hundreds of miles from their home in China’s Muslim province of Xinjiang to serene Kunming to carry out their bloody jihad on innocent civilians.

Dressed in black and armed with knives and machetes, the well-trained terrorists randomly hacked and slashed at the heads and throats of passengers in what the state press is calling “China’s 9/11.”

“Mostly they went for the head and shoulders, those parts of the body to kill,” a terrified student told Reuters.

Yet the Western press can’t quite understand why. It’s called jihad. It’s happening all over the world. And now it’s come to China.

The New York Times, for one, blamed the attack on ethnic hatred in China, expressing sympathy for China’s growing Muslim population who complain of religious oppression.

Missing from the story was the jihadi attack last October that killed five in Tiananmen Square.

All told, Muslims carried out some 200 terrorist attacks inside China last year — and now they’re hitting softer targets, just like here.

“The Western media is indeed contemptuous of the idea that China faces a jihad threat,” said JihadWatch’s Robert Spencer. They’re “just as dismissive of the idea that the West faces a jihad threat.”

Like the terrorists who hacked off the head of a British soldier in broad daylight in London, the Chinese terrorists were following the jihadi commands of their holy book to “smite ye above their necks” and “strike off their heads” when killing the infidels “wherever you find them.”

The same gruesome M.O. was on display in Boston — if only authorities had recognized it for what it was.

Boston Magazine has concluded in a long article timed for the Marathon bombings anniversary that police could have prevented the horrific attacks if they had recognized an earlier triple homicide in a Boston suburb as jihadi terrorism.

On Sept. 11, 2011, the throats of all three victims found in a Waltham condo had been slashed with such force their heads were nearly decapitated. Two of the victims were Jewish, their wounds the kind seen in an al-Qaida snuff video.

Yet police ignored the tell-tale jihadi clues and wrote it off as a drug deal gone bad. But now they’re sure one of the Boston bombers — Tamerlan Tsarnaev — was responsible for one of the bloodiest attacks investigators have ever seen.

Too late now. Tragically, Tsarnaev was never questioned, even though he worked out with one of the victims and was known as a raging Islamist at the gym.

“If police had figured out who hacked three men to death on Sept. 11, 2011,” the magazine lamented, “there’s a good chance we would not be talking about the Boston Marathon bombings.”

Beheadings and throat slashings are the calling card of jihadists. How many more innocent people have to die before we take off the politically correct blinders and see the threat for what it is?

Comments

This is not just an example of media bias, this is media corruption. The liberal MSM, and even Fox News, downplays the connection between terrorist attacks and Islam, leaving the majority of American ignorant about the threat coming from devout Muslims who are engaged in a jihad against the West, Christianity, the USA, and Israel. Thank God that we have Jihad Watch and a few other sites that tell the truth about the connections between Islam, jihad, and terrorism.

But it has NOTHING to do with Islam. And anyone who points out the Koran verses is an Islamophobe. ALL ISLAMIC TERRORISTS are MISUNDERSTANDERS of Islam. The caliphs were misunderstanders, Tamerlane was a misunderstander, Mohammed was a misunderstander.

Yes, only Esposito understands Islam. The Arabs never did until Esposito was born.

In 1939-40, during THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN, when the Germans were bombing London, Churchill said (as best I recall, reading about as a 12 year old) ” for every bomb that falls on London 10 (or was it 100? I forget) will fall on Berlin”.

The Chinese should take this, and modify it. There were 29 people killed and 143 injured.

The Chinese should kill 2,900 Muslim jihadists and wound/injure/incarcerate 14,300.

And do the executions PUBLICLY– broadcast on television.

Possibly by hacking their (males) schlongs, forcing into their throats, ehn hacking them limb by limb, then their heads.

Make it gruesome.

One at a time.

Shoudls top those anal pores.

(Admittedly the NY Times and other apoligsts, including those in the “Executive” branch of the US government would complain. but, with China holding so much US debt, what could they do? Jump up and down?

And it will, until we recognize that Islam is not the real enemy. Islam is a giant made of paper, it can be easily crushed where it not for our PC governments, the MSM, the so-called “right groups” etc.
*THEY* are the real enemy.

Well said. Islam will pose no threat to humanity only if we in the west stop appeasing them & licking their bloody a****
Overall, mohammedans are very coward they’ll never stand to face a stern resistance. All we’ve to do is stop facilitating them in any way. Of course, initially they’ll resort to violence & intimidation but one firm blow on their nose & they’ll be up in the air like smoke.

That’s because the Indian sub-continent as well as Israel are simply trying to defend themselves. They are on the DEFENSIVE, and that’s not enough. Political correctness is stopping them from doing what needs to be done.

Yes, Islam is a giant made of paper.
Yes, I have an agenda: the complete destruction of Islam.
It’s not enough to protect ourselves from the Islamic invasion. Even if we succed, it will only be a temporary fix, it will come back to haunt our children. The total and complete destruction of Islam must be achieved through and with Muslims. The real victory is to see Muslims leave Islam, it is already happening…silently!
Unveiling Muhammad is the only way for Muslims to realize how low this man was.
That’s my agenda, and here is one of my PPS in english, french and arabic that might help my Muslim brothers in humanity spit and urinate on the name of Muhammad!!!

Salah means well, but he commits a double miscalculation: He underestimates Islam; and he overestimates Western PC MC.

If he really wants to “solve” the problem of Islam — which includes the problem of the problem (i.e., the problem of the West’s myopia to the problem) — he needs to start by having a more accurate appraisal of the problem.

On September 27, 2011, in the small college town of Ashland, Oregon
Pete Seda (Pirouz Sedapatti), Leader of Ashland, Oregon Mosque, was sentenced to prison on charges of smuggling money to muslim Chechnyen rebels.
Meanwhile Pete Seda’s muslim accomplice, Soliman al-Buthe,
the co-founder of the Ashland, Oregon mosque, was removed from
the U.N. al-Qaida list, but still remains on the U.S. al-Qaida sanctions terrorist list for “aiding terrorists in Chechnya and Albania”, and “still faces arrest if he returns to the United States”.
Less than TWO MONTHS after Seda’s conviction, on November 19, 2011 in Ashland Oregon, a Christian man was found beheaded on a bike trail in Ashland.
The case remains unsolved, local police haven’t got a clue, and as far as I know, I am the only one who has suggested a possible link between these two incidents.

And the JWatcher behind this “editorial” is engaging in as much obsfuscation and lying as the western media is, by pinning terrorist attacks on the “Muslim population” of China, when only Uyghurs from groups like TIP have committed terrorist attacks, and not a single member of any other Muslim ethnic group in China, like the Hui, Salar, and Dongxiang, have committed any terrorist attacks.

This is a Uyghur fight only, nothing to do with the other Muslim ethnic groups in China, and the number of Hui is greater than that of Uyghur.

And this paragraph

“Like the terrorists who hacked off the head of a British soldier in broad daylight in London, the Chinese terrorists were following the jihadi commands of their holy book to “smite ye above their necks” and “strike off their heads” when killing the infidels “wherever you find them.””

Couldn’t have had anything to do with the fact that the neck is the easiest part of the body to strike a fatal wound with a slashing weapon, could it. Obviously non-Muslim killers armed with blades would not go for the neck, making it harder to fatally wound their victims. (sarc. off)

Quick question: aren’t you tired of claiming JW is lying and/or jumping into conclusions only to be proven wrong? pretty soon everyone here will start assuming assuming the truth is the exact opposite of whatever you say.

When did I say they were peaceful? If anything, they are 1000x more fierce in fighting than any other group in China, if you any foreign country invades northwest China, they will find out for themselves. They do not want to seperate from China and are satisfied with their economic and social conditions, which is why there is no terrorism.

Since Communism is simply the more virulent, concentrated and extreme form of PC MC, why are we surprised when Communist China or Communist-ingrained Russia treat their jihadists with pretty much the same kid gloves the PC MC West does?

Re the Uighur Muslims and the Hui Muslims (and some other less well-known currently-apparently-assimilated/ sinified/ ‘Moderate’ Muslims of other ethnicities) within China: I find myself “reading” the situation as, writ large, the old “Goodcop/ Badcop” game of which the mohammedan mob, considered as a gestalt, are past masters.

Uighur, currently obviously a problem, angry, exploding now and then even **despite the might of the totalitarian Chinese communist state**, and demanding autonomy or independence = Badcop.

But both belong to the Mob. The Hui haven’t renounced or denounced Mohammed.

And no matter how hard the likes of Mazo protest that all the Uighur want is their own Uighur state, free of Chinese oppression – that is, any attacks they carry out are motivated entirely by ethnic nationalism and rebellion against Chinese imperialism, and have *nothing*, zilch, nada, to do with Islam, and that the Hui are true-blue-loyal-to-China muslims-in-name-only and would never, never, never even *think* of waging jihad against anybody, ever, crossmyheartandhopetodie…

I don’t believe him.

The Muslims in China, Hui and Uighur and a number of other lesser-known groups, read exactly the same Quran, Sira and Hadith as all the other Muslims in the world, and enough of both groups are going on Hajj to Islam Central, or have contact with full-on Muslims from just across the border in places like Pakistan, and have ways, given modern communications technology, of finding out what the classical Islamic texts teach, to be well aware of what full-strength undiluted Islam is all about.

Wherever there are Muslims, there is or will be, sooner or later, Jihad.

It’s amazing how people like you have a propensity to manufacture complete BS and attribute it to me, things I never said.

I never said anything about ”moderate” vs non “moderate”.

Hui, Salar, and Dongxiang people are in fact devout Muslims, in fact in northwest China, they are extremely religious and make no bones about showcasing that fact. They live much more Islamically and better than Uyghurs, many Uyghurs blatantly violate their own religion by shooting up drugs on themselves or selling their kids to criminal trafficking gangs due to lax religiousity and poverty.

It is exactly the Sinicized Muslims influenced by Chinese culture and Confucianism who are intensely religious, and have no seperatist and no terrorist intents.

I’ve said nothing about imperialism either, I demand you directly quote the crap before attributing it to me.
